This is one of the cars I enjoyed watching so I am happy to see one competing again but also sad knowing this is really the end of the car’s competitive life
sad knowing this is really the end of the car’s competitive life
That probably ended 4 years ago when Bentley pulled the plug on factory program. Once such thing is done by any manufacturer, a car inevitably becomes raceable only in second (or lower) tier series at some point.
R8 has better outlook on longetivity at least as long as its homologation is active. Car is used a lot, plus the base is actually good. It's largely been slowed down a lot especially on straights and with a small rear wing and the engine isn't on the brink of its performance scope, they can tune things up in every way for a while as it slowly falls behind. And because many teams have it chances are series have an interest in keeping it viable for the time being.
